apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
This package also provides a command line frontend for browsing and
handling the crash reports. For desktops, you should consider
installing the GTK+ or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-kde).

apport (2.20-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium
* New upstream release.
- Reimplement forwarding crashes into a container, via activating the new
apport-forward.socket in the container and handing over the core dump
fd. This is a much safer way than the original implementation with
nsexec. Thanks Stéphane Graber! (LP: #1445064)
* Drop long-obsolete sysv-rc dependency.
* Add python3-systemd recommendation to apport, to make crash report
generation work in containers.
* Install new systemd units into apport package.

2016-01-26 - Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>
apport (2.19.4-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Fix fileutils.test_find_package_desktopfile test for symlinks and other
unowned files in /usr/share/applications/.
- Fix ui.test_run_crash_anonymity test case to not fail if the base64
encoded core dump happens to contain the user name, as that's just by
chance. - Fix test_hooks.py for unreleased gcc versions which have a
different --version format.
- hookutils.py, attach_hardware(): Stop attaching /var/log/udev. This was
an upstart-ism, mostly redundant with the udev db and is not being
written under systemd. (LP: #1537211)
* etc/apport/crashdb.conf: Enable crash reports on Launchpad for xenial.
